(EDIT: Changed beginning to make it CLEAR I am not attacking the reader - unless of course you fill the "you" role I put at the bottom of the post)
Regarding the decision by Californians that I am less human than you...
It's unfortunate that this Rec'd diary is the first recommended diary on the matter I've noticed since Tuesday.
DO NOT get me wrong. That diary is good and probably quite necessary.
Even if - and that is likely untrue - there was really a larger amount of one group that voted me to be subhuman, it has little to do with the GROUP.
Should one "group" be singled out over another for blame? No.
But... should all individuals who feel I and others, who are gay - as God made us (don't argue, it's true) - should be segregated as separate citizens and unequal, should those with such beliefs be viewed with disdain?
Yes. Deep disdain.
Since the diary is that is rec'd is from a different perspective, I'd like to give a small statement from a gay perspective.
Every one who views me as less than human because I am as I was born, to them I start off by saying this:
fuck you, you soulless fucks. and I don't give a flying fuck what color your skin is, what religion you follow or don't follow, what country you hail from, what economic policies you like, what books you read or don't, what food you eat, or even what good and progressive things you've done in the past.
If you think I am less than a fucking animal - IN THE SAME VOTING BOOTH you fucking voted to give FARM ANIMALS rights and THEN stripped ME of a right that should be EVERYONE'S - if YOU, as an individual, feel that I am not a Man, as I was made, then I say you are soulless and should be viewed with the absolute disgust that such a belief - directed at ANY human that has done no ill to others - deserves.
(NOTE: "You" was generic, not pointing at you the reader or anyone else here. Unless "you" do feel I am not a human deserving of the same rights you take for granted.
If you ARE "you", then fuck you, your soul is dead.)
